A new report has failed to find a link between high levels of low-density lipoproteins (LDL), often referred to as ‘bad cholesterol’, and heart disease.

COMMENT

This report is the latest in a long line of studies confirming that cholesterol cannot be the cause of heart disease. In another example, a scientific review published in 2017 stated that the cholesterol theory of heart disease is now ‘dead’. Published in the Pharmaceutical Journal – a publication of Britain’s Royal Pharmaceutical Society – the review also described how the lives of heart attack survivors participating in pharma-sponsored cholesterol-lowering drug trials have been shown to be extended by an average of just 4 days. The review authors stated there is an “ethical and moral imperative” for the potential harms of these drugs to be discussed.
